Chapter 228 Reinforcing the bamboo shed, what is the first step in firing cement?
Zhao Xinqing looked at Su Bai's frightened look, chuckled and patted Su Bai's vest, comforting:
"It's okay, don't worry."
"You underestimate hybrid rice too much."
"This hybrid rice is specially designed to deal with post-nuclear war reconstruction."
"After the nuclear war, it is a long nuclear winter, and the strong smoke will block all the sunlight. This hybrid rice can grow under such complex conditions, and it is so cold that it cannot do anything to them."
"Although sweet potatoes are afraid of cold, the coldness at night can at most hinder their growth and development, delaying the harvest time, and they will not be able to kill them for a while."
After hearing Zhao Xinqing's words so confidently, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm still waiting to eat roasted sweet potato rice bowl, but nothing can happen to the three acres of land.
Having said that, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing raised a torch and went to the south to check the fields.
The sweet potato seedlings were a little nervous.
The rice seedlings in the rice fields have not changed much, and they do seem to have extraordinary and powerful vitality.
Zhao Xinqing bent down to check the condition of the sweet potato seedlings, frowned slightly, and asked:
"Su Bai, how long will this late spring cold last?"
Su Bai thought for a while and shook his head:
"It's hard to say. The late spring cold is adapted to local conditions, and we have never been here before."
"If it is long, it may even last for more than ten days."
Zhao Xinqing frowned even more and said:
"It's been too long, and it's really possible to freeze the sweet potato seedlings to death..."
"It seems like I have to prepare early..."
Su Bai asked:
"Is there any way to keep warm?"
Zhao Xinqing nodded and said:
"Modern agriculture generally uses greenhouses to keep crops warm."
"But we obviously don't have this condition."
"In ancient times, farmers would lay a layer of hay in the field before the cold wave came to keep the crops warm."
Barrage:
【What can one layer of hay be used to support...】
【It should be cold or cold…】
Zhao Xinqing looked at the barrage and shook her head:
"No, you guys underestimate hay too much."
"The temperature difference brought by a layer of hay is often the distance between life and death of crops."
"Of course, if it's too cold, there's nothing I can do..."
"But this is not winter, but late spring cold, the temperature will not be particularly low, it should be enough."
Su Bai thoughtfully:
"Then let's go mow the grass?"
Zhao Xinqing laughed:
"Let's go and cut alfalfa!"
“Put the alfalfa when you need it.”
"When the late spring cold is over, the alfalfa is almost dried and eaten by the foodies."
"Not a waste at all!"
Barrage:
【…】
【Alfalfa: Don’t come here!!!】
[Alfalfa: I'm going to hide it from you! I've been tolerant of you and the snacks for a long time!]
【Alfalfa: I'm used to being persecuted every day...】
The sun was not rising at this time and it was still too cold, so the two of them dared not go up the mountain.
First, it is because the mountains may be colder, and second, it is because I am afraid that my hands and feet are not flexible enough, so I will fall on the mountain road and be in danger.
But it is still okay to cut alfalfa at the foot of the mountain.
The two of them took torches and firewood, pulled the foodie to the alfalfa bush.
Directly use torches and firewood to create a fire outside the alfalfa bush, so you can keep warm at any time to prevent your body temperature from being too low.
The two of them went in to mow the grass with their stone axes.
When the foodie saw the alfalfa bush that she was longing for a moment, she didn't care about the cold, and bypassed Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing, and rushed in from another angle, it was a disaster!
After this cut, the two of them cut until nine o'clock in the morning.
The sun rises, and the warm sunlight dispels the coldness on the earth.
The frost has long faded away, and it seems that the cold of last night has never existed.
However, the temperature is several degrees lower than the previous few days.
The two of them moved several times in the camp and the alfalfa bushes, and piled up a bunch of alfalfa next to the sweet potato field, preparing to cover the sweet potato field at night.
As for now, since the sun has risen, naturally, the alfalfa cannot block the sunshine of the sweet potato seedlings, so I put it aside first.
After eating fish soup stewed on the campfire, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing took advantage of the warm sun during the day to take the snacks up the mountain again.
This time, the two of them still went to cut bamboo.
This late spring cold is a severe test for everyone.
A complete shelter, sufficient campfire fuel and thick warmth, if there is any problem with each of the above three items, it may cause the survivor to be frozen to death in the late spring cold.
Therefore, the bamboo shed with walls on both sides and air leakage on both sides is no longer enough now.
The two of them had to take advantage of the day today to fill up the two spare walls of the bamboo shed and form a relatively closed space inside to provide themselves with enough shelter in this late spring cold.
Fortunately, this work is not very intense.
Halfway through, Su Bai bent down and picked up a gray-white stone, and said to the camera:
“This is limestone, very common in the wilderness.”
"If the amount required is large, you naturally need to dig the mountain wall."
"But we don't need a lot of lime, so picking it up is enough."
As they said that, the two picked up all the limestones in the nearby area and piled them together, waiting to take them away as they went down the mountain.
Barrage:
[Is this limestone...just picking it up like this? I was shocked!]
【So limestone is everywhere in the mountains?】
[Good guy, I learned it! In the future, I don’t have to spend money to buy cement when decorating my new home! I just go to the mountain to pick it up!]
This time, the bamboo cut was cut with two solid stone axes made by Su Bai. It took only half an hour for the two to cut ten bamboos.
Asked the foodie to bring ten bamboos down the mountain, Zhao Xinqing put the limestone stacked when she went up the mountain into the bamboo shoulder pole that Su Bai was carrying.
Although I didn't come to pick up limestone on purpose, I still packed the pole with a full load.
When he returned to the camp, Su Bai's shoulders were sore.
Putting the limestone in the corner of the rock wall at will, Su Bai looked at the limestone thoughtfully and nodded:
"After three or four times the limestone, it should be almost enough."
"The main material of the stone house is shale and cement made of limestone is just an adhesive, and it doesn't require much."
Although there was some limestone, Su Bai did not boil the cement directly, but instead stuffed a pile of charcoal.
Taking advantage of the time when the charcoal was smoking, the two worked together to start dealing with the bamboo.
By 1:30 pm, the remaining two walls of the bamboo shed had been completed.
Considering that the late spring cold is coming, the fire must be moved into the bamboo shed for heating at night.
In order to avoid indoor oxygen deficiency or even carbon monoxide poisoning when burning charcoal, the two left a gap on the bamboo wall near the rock wall so that the air could flow less freely.
After reinforcing the bamboo shed, Su Bai finally had time to start firing cement.
"Accountants, what is the first step in firing cement?"
